18th October 2017 - 11AM

Join Lauren Child, Waterstones Children’s Laureate, and learn the stories behind the stories. The multi-award-winning author and artist
will discuss her influences and creative process and some of her best-loved characters. Find out the stories behind Charlie and Lola, Clarice Bean and the amazing spy-kid, code-cracker Ruby Redfort.

In an illustrated talk, Lauren will share her fascination with sibling relationships, how watching television as a child shaped her artistic vision and the pleasure of daydreaming. Lauren will also be introducing her latest Charlie and Lola book, ‘A Dog with NiceEars’.

“Silly, surprising, thoughtful and fun, Charlie and Lola are on top form in this fantastically funny story, packed full of dogs of every shape, size and colour.”

This event is presented as part of the Loogabarooga Festival 2017. For more information on other events taking place, please visit www.loogabarooga.com
